George Tackaberry will be receiving the 2024 Lifetime Business Achievement Award.
Mr. Tackaberry launched his current business G. Tackaberry and Sons Construction Company Limited in 1957 and has donated to countless community groups with financial contributions.
The Maple View Landings project was renamed the G. Tackaberry Family Home after a donation from Mr. Tackaberry in the amount of $500,000.
The Tackaberry family was also celebrated when the Brockville municipal airport was renamed the Brockville – 1000 Islands Regional Tackaberry Airport following the donation of hundreds of thousands of dollars in materials, time, and money to extend the airport’s runway to 4500 feet in order to accommodate larger aircraft.
Other examples of generosity from Mr. Tackaberry include major donations to Brockville General Hospital, Gord Brown Memorial Outdoor Rink, and Leeds & Grenville United Way.
Previous recipients include Larry VanderBaaren, Joe Hudson, Paul Fournier, Hunter Grant, Gord Brown, David Beatty, Bob Runciman, Al Smith, Dave Sheridan, Don Green, Sherri Simzer, John & Steve Mazurek, and Dave Jones.
Tackaberry will be honored during the Brockville District Chamber of Commerce AGM at the Brockville Country Club on March 27th.
